Gas BURNER.

appncauonmed March 1a, 1927. serial No. 176,804.

This invention relates to gas burners and it is an object of the inventionjto 'provide a device of this hind comprisino' a tube provided with means to assure a flame effectively spreading over a desired heating surfacewith substantially no noise.

` It is also an object ofthe invention to provide a burner of this kind comprising burner tubes together with means for ede@- m tively *mounting the same in applied or working position.

4The invention consists in the details of construction and in the combination and arrangement of ythe several parts of my improved gas burner whereby certain important advantages are attained and the device rendered simpler, less expensive and otherwise more convenient and advantageous for use, as will be hereinafter more fully set f The novel features of m invention will hereinafter be definitely claimed. j

In order that my invention may be the better understood, I will now proceed to describe the same with reference to the'accompanying drawing, wherein A` l Figure l is a view partly in side elevation and partly in section illustratinga burner constructed in accordance with an embodimentv of my invention; y Y

Figure 2 is a sectionalview taken substantially on the line 2 2 of Figure l;

Figure 3 vis a sectional view taken substantially on the line 3--3 of Figure l;

Figure t is a fragmentary view in top plan illustrating in detail the upperv or flame end of a tube in initial position when being applied;

Figure 5 is a view similar to Figure et with the tube in applied position;

Figure 6 is a fragmentary view in top plan of the burner tube support;

Figure 7 is a sectional view taken through a burner support constructed in accordance with a further embodiment of my invention;

Figure 8 is a fragmentary elevational View illustrating a slightly modified from of burner tube.

As disclosed in the accompanying drawing, l denotes a gas manifold having its extremities operatively engaged with the T joints 2. The assembled manifold l and joints 2 are of a length to bridge the space between the opposed walls 3 of a stove in which the burner is applied.

Coacting with one of the walls 8 and the the ymanifold l is effectively-vsupported by the walls 3.

The stem branches` 2 of the joints 2 are upwardly and vertically disposed and in threaded engagement with each of said stem branches 2 is the lower end portion of an u upstanding Ipost or pin G'which provides a supporting means forthe burner-tube supf port or brace B. The brace `B `is of aV length to substantially bridge the space between the walls 3 and includes a bottom plate '7 which rests upon the upper ends of the branches 2, said plate 7 adjacent to each end .being provided with an'opening 8 through which la post or pin 6 is directed. One marginal portion of the plate 7 is defined by ya lvertically disposed vplate 9 having its upper marginalr i portion continued by a plate l0 overlying the plate 7. This plate l0 has anopening 7. through which the post or pin 6 is also directed. Threaded through the rplate 9 and engagingthe pin or post 6 isa holding screw ll providing means whereby the burner support B is effectively maintained in applied position upon each of the pins or posts 6. This bolt or screw 1l also permits the burner support B to be held in desired adjusted pos sition at `points lengthwise'of a pin or post 6v asthe requirements of practice may prefer.

The upper portion of the wall of the manifold 1 is provided therealongV with` spaced outlet ojnenings l2 each of which beingarranged directly below a burner tube "T opera-` tively supported bythe support B.` Each of the tubes T has its upper portion h1at,.as at 14, to project slightly beyond opposite sides of the tube andto provide a tit to produce a wide thin blue flame' which will effectively spread over the desiredheating surface, such as a radiant or asbestos back, thus assuring a maximum of heat. f

Each of the tubes T is insertible through the vertically aligned openings l5' in the plates 7 and l0, each of said openings being provided with diametrically opposed notches or recesses 16 to permit the ready insert-ion through the plates 7 and l0 of the tit end portion of the tube T. After the tube T has been disposed through said plates 7 and l0, the tube `is given` an approximate quarter turn, as illustrated in Figure 5, whereby the tube iseffectively maintained inxapplied or working position. This quarter turning of the tube serves to bring in close contact from below with the plate 7 the outstandingam nular bead or flange 17 carried by the lowerI portion of the tube T, thus further assuring an effective maintenance of the tube T in applied position'with respect to the sup port B. d Y y 1 IWhentlielbur'ner is appliedfwithin a, stove, the plate 9 of `the burner supportB is pref erab y forwardly disposed and to further strengthen saidsupport B, 'the inner marginal portions `of the plates 7 `and 10 have lock seamed thereto or otherwise connected a brace plate 18. However, if the plates 7,

may be dispensed with.

" When the late9` ls i 9 and 10 are sufficiently heavy ths plate 18 i through the'medium of the bolts `20 or the like.` i i f In Fi ure 8 I illustrate an embodiment of a tube wherein a separable flattened tit 14 is operatively engaged `With `the upper portion of thetube Tf. d 1` t Inter osedflbetween the `vvalls 3 and secured t eretofas at 21, is a brace member or stri 22 and the flattened portion 14 of each o the tubes T is received with an o jening`23 in such `member ror strip 22. his member or strip 22 in addition to provid ing further support for the tubes d T also serves toQhold' the same against turning movement, thus assuring `the flame jets being maintained in desired positions. v

From the foregoing description it is thought to `be obvious that `a` gas burner constructed in accordancewithmy invention i is particularly well adapted for use by reason of the convenience and facility with which it may be assembledand operated,
